Power Out
This goes beyond bad luck. Something—or someone—has knocked out some of our electrical substations. The engineer I sent out to fix it hasn't returned, so I need all available Raiders to look into it. That includes you.
Key Takeaways
- Given by Celeste and takes place in The Spaceport.
- Includes 4 objectives focused on exploration, interaction.
- Rewards 4 items upon completion.
- Part of a multi-step quest chain from Celeste. Both a prerequisite quest and follow-up quests exist.
Objectives
All objectives carry over between raids. You do not need to complete everything in a single run.
Walkthrough Tips
Terminal activation objectives are typically found near landmark structures. Look for the glowing interaction prompt. Some terminals may require clearing a small area of ARC units before they become interactive.
Search objectives have specific interaction zones you need to reach. Use your compass marker to navigate to the general area, then look for the highlighted interaction point. Some search areas may have multiple valid spots.
With multiple objectives spread across the map, consider tackling them over two or more raids rather than rushing through everything at once. Prioritize objectives that are close together.
This quest is part of a chain. Completing the previous quest(s) in the series is required before this one becomes available from the trader.
Recommended Loadout
Light Weapon (Pistol or SMG)
Exploration quests have less direct combat but you still need something for self-defense. A lightweight weapon keeps your mobility high.
Noisemakers or Decoys
Interaction objectives force you to stand still for several seconds. Distracting nearby ARC patrols with noisemakers buys you time to complete interactions without getting interrupted.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.
Step-by-Step Completion Guide
Follow these steps to complete all objectives for Power Out. Each step includes contextual advice based on the objective type.
Find the Electrical Substation south of the Spaceport, next to the Checkpoint
Follow your quest marker to the search area. The item or location will have a highlighted interaction prompt. Check multiple floors and rooms if the building has interior areas.
Find any sign of the missing engineer
Follow your quest marker to the search area. The item or location will have a highlighted interaction prompt. Check multiple floors and rooms if the building has interior areas.
Carry the fuse/battery back to the Electrical Substation
Follow the quest marker and interact with the highlighted element. Stay alert for ARC patrols in the area and clear them if they interfere with the objective.
Enable the power switch on the Fuse Box
Find the terminal or control panel marked by your quest indicator. Interact with it to activate. Some terminals require you to clear ARC units in the immediate area before they become usable.
Map: The Spaceport
A massive pre-collapse launch facility now serving as a heavily contested zone. Industrial complexes, control towers, and open tarmac create a mix of close-quarters and long-range engagement areas. ARC presence is dense, with multiple turret emplacements and aerial patrols.
Interior corridors offer shelter from aerial threats but watch ceilings for Ticks. The control towers are common quest objective locations but are also heavily defended. Bring ranged weapons for the open sections.
